Didn't think I'd ever find this one

My hunting buddy and I have always wanted to find a GW inaugural button but didn't think it would ever happen. I'm happy to say we were wrong. I found one today. It's not in great shape but I don't care. It's an object related to our first president and one of the founding fathers of our country. Even if it wasn't worth anything it's just awesome to me to have found this piece of American history. I'm hoping now that my hunting partner can find one also. If anyone can tell me the variety of the button I'd appreciate it.

Congrats on the GW button. I've been hunting a while too and finally found my first one last year. Definitely a great feeling. I've been told they were issued in sets of 4 or 5 so hunt that site as thoroughly as you can.

To the OP, good luck on trying to get a mint one.
